TATA Institute of Social Sciences Recruitment 2026: 1 Manager-Industry Connect Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for an experienced professional holding a Postgraduate degree in Marketing or a related field, with 6-8 years of business development experience, including a mandatory minimum of three years within the education sector. The ideal candidate will be adept at fostering strategic industry partnerships, driving student admissions, exploring CSR opportunities, and demonstrating strong communication and organizational skills. A proactive individual passionate about skill-based education and contributing to social impact will thrive in this Mumbai-based contractual position.

Individuals lacking a Postgraduate qualification in Marketing or a relevant field, or those who do not meet the minimum experience requirements (6 years in business development, with 3 years specifically in education), should not apply. This is a contractual position for a period of two years, with potential for extension, which might not be suitable for candidates seeking permanent government employment. The role requires a physical presence in Mumbai.

Working with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a Deemed University under the Ministry of Education, offers significant prestige and a platform to contribute to national skill development initiatives through the School of Skill Education. This role provides an opportunity to engage with diverse stakeholders across industry and education, enhancing professional networks and expertise. While initially contractual, a strong performance could lead to an extension, offering continued engagement within a renowned institution dedicated to social change and skill empowerment.
